Some of it's a bit daft (oh you just happened to be standing on a random kerb as a van sped up to run over your team mate, who lives in another bit of London, OK) but there are always daft bits.

Writing something that is so incredibly boring that I am allowing myself ten minutes of Slow Horses for every 100 words. In other news I'm not sure this season of SH is as bad as they say, although I only have this incredibly boring writing to compare it to.

I was watching that cheesy Blue Peter dance video the other day and some sort of 45-year dormant crush on John Noakes was awakened. Maybe we all had a crush on John Noakes but didn't know it?

His name – and I know you were wondering – is Zanco Panco, which is Spanish for Humpty Dumpty. The second most voted name was Hometo Omleto, which is Esperanto for Humpty Dumpty. Although apparently citations are needed.

You know when you meet up with an old pal you really like but haven't seen for ages and in the interim they've gone a bit 'legitimate concerns' and 'Milei has done wonders for the economy though'? That's now happened to me twice in a fortnight. What is happening
